Lesson 05: Compute — Windows - Copy-Paste Commands

Deploy Windows VMs and Azure App Service

📋 Setup Variables

Copy and paste this block first to set up your variables:

# Configuration
LOCATION="centralus"
RESOURCE_GROUP="rg-essentials-windows"
UNIQUE_SUFFIX=$(openssl rand -hex 4)
VM_NAME="vm-win-${UNIQUE_SUFFIX}"
APP_NAME="app-essentials-${UNIQUE_SUFFIX}"
ADMIN_USERNAME="azureuser"

# Display names (save these!)
echo "VM Name: $VM_NAME"
echo "App Name: $APP_NAME"

Step 1: Create Resource Group

# Create the resource group
az group create \
    --name "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --location "$LOCATION" \
    --tags "course=azure-essentials" "lesson=05-windows"

Step 2: Create Virtual Network

# Create VNet for the VM
az network vnet create \
    --name "vnet-windows" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --location "$LOCATION" \
    --address-prefix "10.1.0.0/16" \
    --subnet-name "snet-vms" \
    --subnet-prefix "10.1.1.0/24"

Step 3: Create Network Security Group

# Create NSG
az network nsg create \
    --name "nsg-windows-vm" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --location "$LOCATION"
# Allow RDP (port 3389)
az network nsg rule create \
    --name "AllowRDP" \
    --nsg-name "nsg-windows-vm" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --priority 100 \
    --direction Inbound \
    --access Allow \
    --protocol Tcp \
    --destination-port-ranges 3389

Step 4: Create Public IP

# Create a public IP for the VM
az network public-ip create \
    --name "pip-${VM_NAME}" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --location "$LOCATION" \
    --sku Standard \
    --allocation-method Static

Step 5: Create Windows VM

⚠️ Password Requirements: 12+ characters, uppercase, lowercase, number, special character

# Set your admin password (change this!)
ADMIN_PASSWORD="YourSecureP@ssw0rd123!"

# Create the Windows Server 2022 VM
az vm create \
    --name "$VM_NAME" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --location "$LOCATION" \
    --image "MicrosoftWindowsServer:WindowsServer:2022-datacenter-azure-edition:latest" \
    --size "Standard_B2s" \
    --admin-username "$ADMIN_USERNAME" \
    --admin-password "$ADMIN_PASSWORD" \
    --vnet-name "vnet-windows" \
    --subnet "snet-vms" \
    --nsg "nsg-windows-vm" \
    --public-ip-address "pip-${VM_NAME}"

Step 6: Get VM Connection Info

# Get the public IP address
az vm show \
    --name "$VM_NAME" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --show-details \
    --query publicIps \
    -o tsv
# Show VM details
az vm show \
    --name "$VM_NAME" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --query "{Name:name, Size:hardwareProfile.vmSize, OS:storageProfile.osDisk.osType}" \
    -o table

Part 2: Azure App Service

Step 7: Create App Service Plan

# Create an App Service Plan (F1 is free tier)
az appservice plan create \
    --name "plan-${APP_NAME}" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --location "$LOCATION" \
    --sku F1 \
    --is-linux false

Step 8: Create Web App

# Create a .NET web app
az webapp create \
    --name "$APP_NAME" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --plan "plan-${APP_NAME}" \
    --runtime "dotnet:9"

Step 9: Configure Web App Settings

# Enable logging
az webapp log config \
    --name "$APP_NAME" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --web-server-logging filesystem
# Add an application setting
az webapp config appsettings set \
    --name "$APP_NAME" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --settings "ENVIRONMENT=Development" "COURSE=AzureEssentials"

Step 10: Get Web App URL

# Get the default hostname
az webapp show \
    --name "$APP_NAME" \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --query defaultHostName \
    -o tsv

📊 View Resources

List All VMs

az vm list \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --query "[].{Name:name, Size:hardwareProfile.vmSize, State:provisioningState}" \
    -o table

List All Web Apps

az webapp list \
    --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" \
    --query "[].{Name:name, State:state, URL:defaultHostName}" \
    -o table

📚 Additional Commands

Start/Stop/Restart VM

# Stop the VM (deallocates - stops billing for compute)
az vm deallocate --name "$VM_NAME" --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP"
# Start the VM
az vm start --name "$VM_NAME" --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP"
# Restart the VM
az vm restart --name "$VM_NAME" --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP"

Start/Stop Web App

# Stop the web app
az webapp stop --name "$APP_NAME" --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP"
